Tiny Desk AI Group Chat Version: Up to 5 Friends
By the Tiny Desk AI App team · Updated · About us
Short answer: Tiny Desk AI App's Band mode puts up to 5 friends into the "Outstanding" Tiny Desk band in one 18-second video for $9.98, the same price as a solo video. Add one photo per seat; empty seats keep the stage band. Ready in about 8–12 minutes.
| Seat | Where they appear |
|---|---|
| Lead vocals | The big close-up in the middle of the clip |
| Keys | Front of the wide band shots |
| Back left | Behind the keys in the wide shots |
| Back right | Right side of the wide shots |
| Sax | Its own short shot before the last band shot |
Who goes where
Give lead vocals to the birthday person, the new hire or the friend whose team lost. Keys and the two backing singers are in the wide shots, so they suit the rest of the crew. Sax gets a short solo moment.

Put your whole group chat or team in the band. Add a photo for each seat you want to swap; empty seats keep the stage band.
One adult per photo, face clearly visible. Everyone in the photos must agree to it. The band version is 18 seconds with the original performance sound and takes about 8–12 minutes.

Best results: one adult, face clearly visible and facing the camera, even light, head and shoulders in frame. Avoid group photos, sunglasses and heavy filters. Your video keeps the original performance sound.

Photos that work
One adult per photo, face clearly visible and facing the camera, even light. Crop group photos into single faces first. Everyone in the photos must agree to it.
More than five people?
Make two band videos and cut them together in CapCut or TikTok. The 3-video pack ($24.99) or 10-video pack ($59.99) brings the price per video down.
FAQ: does everyone need an account?
No. One person uploads all the photos and pays; the others only need to agree to being in the video.
FAQ: is my photo kept?
Uploaded photos are deleted automatically 7 days after upload and finished videos are kept for 30 days after they finish. You can delete them sooner from My videos.
